Good Morning! I just saw your post and I also need to loose 30-40 lbs. I also live in small community in Ontario but quite a bit more north, Temiskaming Shores (Haileybury). I certainly need motivation and you are right, in a group it's usually easier. If it's ok with all of you, I would like to join your group.

Hi, I have also been here for a few years and also have grandchildren. It's not uncommon to get discouraged but the thing is to keep trying. Obviously if you are here it's because you have not completely given up.:smile: I you want to ad me, I would be more than happy to help cheer you on and have you as part of my friends…

Hi, I am also in your age range and do need to take off more weight. I you would like, you can ad me. We can be part of each other's cheering section. Good luck.

It took time to put it on and now will take time to take it off. But... with patience and learning a whole new way of eating and being more physical it will come off. You are that right place!! With friends in the same predicament for support you can do it. It's a good start.

Welcome to the site Stephie. You can add me as a friend if you would like. :)

My diary is also open and I am at just over 1200 calories with 3 meals and snacks during the day. I you want, you can add me. I wish you luck and success.

No, you are definetly not the only one!! I am the same. I tell my husband or kids that I am going to do exercises and what room I will be in because they then know not to come in. If anyone does happen to come in, I then have to stop what I am doing until they are gone. I think it gets a little easier with time. If it's a…

Good morning team mates, I really feel that myself and mrs_norris will be starting the challenges on a bad foot because both of us need to be out town and travelling from December 1st to December 5th. I'm afraid that there will be no time or place to do the challenges and certainly not to drink 100 ounces of water. I know…

Nikki I also think it's a great name. As for mrs_norris, I know she is 7hours away from home and travelling today so you might not hear from her until tonight.

Here we go! Mission accomplished! In total with the challenge exercises done, I burned 330 calories.

Good job Nickstergirl! and good job Lynn! :)

Oh Wow! I have finished the challenge exercises and more.... I found the one leg squat the hardest. But I burned 397 calories.

We are doing great! and Jill I hope you have a better day tomorrow.

Okay I did the exerices and I'm sure I will feel those tomorrow in the abdomen muscles. :) Hope the exercises tomorrow are for the legs or something.

Hey Lynn, Just to let you know.... as far as the physical challenges, I have no problem and maybe could even be a little more longer or challenging. You are doing a great job to keep us posted. The only problem I have is drinking that much water. I was always told that 64 ounces per day was plenty. But if we need to do it…

Just a quick message to let you know that chaleenge exerceses were done on Saturday, water was drank and weight has not changed. Talk to all of you later. :)

Good work team!! And Lynn.... I have done the challenge exercises and the water. I guess when you are cleaning and dragging your water glass with you, it ends up you drink it without even realizing it. Have fun tonight Nickstergirl! and Jill have a good shift and hope you have fun Sunday at the birthday party!

Great work team!!! Okay I am done with the water!!! Now please someone hand me port a potty. That is a lot of water! lol But we are doing it!

Okay Lynn.... the exercises are all done and I am about 24 ounces away in the water. :) Jenn that is great that you are that commited. You are doing great at this. I also have a hard time drinking this much water eventhough I do drink a lot through the day.

Thank you. :)

Perfect!! and tomorrow is another day with a new challenge!! Lol

Okay so 1st of all let's get this water thing out or the way! I am done or just finishing the last gulp! Lol Now for my story..... When I got married, I weighed 112 lbs then had 3 children and after the last I weighed 168 lbs. At the age of 27 I lost my husband in an accident. Because of nerves and so on I crashed to 118.…

Here we go.... I have completed todays exercises and will soon have the remainder of the water down! LOL :) in between trips to the washroom!

wow!! We are going to do great!!! Ready to start!! and this should keep it interesting! :):smile:

Welcome to the sight! I find it works well for me because I do need motivation and also by keeping track of everything I eat, I am more aware of the calories I take in and portion sizes. I hope it works well for you also. If you want to add me to your list of friend, I will do my best to help.

Welcome and wish you great success. Some of the reasons you decided to join are also some of why I decided to join. If you want, you can add me as a friend.

Welcome to fitness pal! I find the support of friends and also all the knowledge on this site has helped me a lot. I am a slow looser but I am also hoping that if I loose it slow, I will not be putting it right back on. Like discovering control and a new way to eat. Wish you all the best in your journey!
